The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Blueberry Snack Cake

Taste of Home, August/September 2003, pg.34

2 C all-purpose flour
1 1/2 C sugar
1/2 C cold butter
1 tsp baking powder
1 C milk
2 eggs, separated
2 C fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, don't thaw before adding to batter)

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar.  Cut in butter until crumbly.  Set aside 3/4 C for topping.  Add baking powder, milk, and egg yolks to remaining mixture; mix well.  Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold into batter.  Pour into greased 9x13 baking dish.  Sprinkle with blueberries and reserve crumb mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 mins or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Yields: 15-18 servings

Daddy enjoys this dessert very much.  It is a good change if you want something that isn't chocolate.  There isn't usually a lot of this left to take home if we bring it to church.  What's not to like about blueberries and sugar?  :)
Love Always,
Mommy
